A Solution to the Cocktail Party Problem—Hidden in the Brain
BU researchers are mixing neuroscience, photonics, and engineering to help people with hearing loss pick out sounds in noisy spaces.
There is no safe way to view a pumping human heart, but BU scientists are helping create the next best thing: a tiny replica of a living heart to let scientists test new disease treatments. Addressing complex challenges like this requires a convergent approach that draws on expertise across multiple disciplines to create a solution with real, transformative impact for our health and well-being. At Boston University, our researchers are working together to advance human health at every stage of life, developing new strategies to prevent disease, improve care, reduce health inequities, and enhance our quality of life.
